Tree care in schools

Trees on KCC premises are annually inspected for safety issues according to the county council's duty of care to building users and their neighbours.

The inspections take place between April and December by KCC's landscape consultant, currently Jacobs. 

Any resultant work, which from 1 April 2011 became the school responsibility, Jacobs would be happy to advise schools of a cost and carry out this service.

If you have any queries regarding tree care in schools, please contact Jacobs on 01622 666000.

Advice regarding responsibilities for trees in school grounds as well as information about tree care and management can be found in Tree Care in Kent Schools (PDF, 44.8k).
